Seamaster 300m Ceramic

Hi,

I have a current model 40mm Railmaster and am thinking of getting the 43.5mm Ceramic Seamaster.

I have 6.5 inch wrists and am thinking it might be too large?

Anyone got one with skinnier wrists and have you any pics?

What do you think of this piece in general?

Thanks!

I can't speak to how it wears but it's a beautiful watch. I especially like it on the OEM rubber strap. Black, white, blue can't go wrong. It's a bargain at that price point too, especially secondhand

The SMP Diver 300 ceramic is 42mm. There is a 43.5mm PO. The SMP is not as tall and would wear smaller than PO.

Do you want the SMP or Planet ocean?

Here is a video of my white SMP on a 7.25” wrist.

OP, I'm thinking it will be a little too large for you but I guess it depends on your wrist...if its flat or round. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and it looked to big on mine.

Sorry, i meant the ceramic and titanium cased seamaster, which is a bit bigger.

Oh, the no date! Sweet watch! My AD salesperson wears one with a sub 7” wrist. Looks nice and wears smaller because of rubber strap. If it were bracelet it would wear larger.

Yeah, it looks really stealth and a lot more expensive than it is IMO

300m black ceramic is my favorite omega piece at the moment. It’s next on my list!

I believe the OP is referring to this Seamaster Diver 300, which is 43.5 mm.

I have the 42mm seamaster 300m (newest model wave dial with 6'oclock date) in blue and it fits nicely on my 6.5 inch wrist. I would consider this the "maximum largest watch" that would make sense on my dimension of wrist, but thanks to the lug design and short lug-to-lug length it actually wears nicely even in the 6.5 inch wrist range.

Only thing I did not like was the metal bracelet which is too heavy and has rough/sharp edges. Swapped out for rubber strap and result is perfect summer watch :)
